Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Medmenham
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Typical surveys look at damp or stains in top-floor flats and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on rented houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
In a village or hamlet like Medmenham, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What we are asked to look at in Medmenham
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Leaks into upper flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Anyone responsible for a site like Danesfield School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Medmenham homes and their roofs
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Medmenham has a long history of building, with Harleyford Manor about 1.3 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there’s safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are frequently shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Medmenham can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Medmenham questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Henley-On-Thames station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Medmenham within the area you cover?
Yes, Medmenham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
